The Town of Marana finds value in partnering with MPA. We highly respect MPA’s leadership and the methods they use in trying to create resolutions that benefit the entire community.

Mayor Ed Honea, Town of Marana

Since joining MPA, we have met many peers that share the same goals and values for development within the region. In addition, CYPRESS has become involved in several MPA Committees that operate on the forefront of policy change which is invaluable for our business and keeps us better informed. In a Town full of “alphabet” groups, MPA stands out as one of the few that brings together so many within the development community and has a strong voice as a result.
